“Adam,” you may ask, “what is the point of taking a photograph off the third floor of the only condo complex ON the beach in Huntington Beach, CA, if you don’t actually SHOW US the beach?”

Well to that, I say … oops, I only took that one photograph today.

I’ve been to Huntington Beach a few times so far, and I generally go there for work purposes rather than to enjoy myself, so I don’t really think too much about enjoying beach views while I’m there. I snapped that photo above while I was waiting for someone, but if I were to want to take a photo of the beach, I would’ve had to go out of my way to go on the other side of the complex, which I wasn’t really that motivated to do. Instead, you get a nice view of … California State Route 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway. As you may have guessed, it goes along the Pacific coast.

In case you still really, really want to see the beach, I dug up this old photograph that I took back in November 2016 of the beach.

Yes, I promise you that’s actually the beach, and not some random dark photograph. And yes, the only time I have ever photographed the beach was when I happened to be there in the middle of the night. No, this is not an intentional troll.
